Nationality Laws In France<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s really difficult to get a French nationality, and you really need to capitalize on any opportunity that comes your way. There are <\/span>essentially two ways<\/span><\/a> for anyone to get a French nationality, these being:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Citizenship By Blood, Descent Or Birth In France<\/b><\/h2>\n

Jus Sanguine literally means \u201cby blood\u201d and those who are born to French nationals automatically qualify for citizenship. It doesn\u2019t matter if your parents have relinquished their nationalities; if you can show any close direct relative (grandparents for example) as a native French national, then you can apply for citizenship.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a fairly tricky process, where your parents or relatives need not be French citizens but if you\u2019re born in France, then you automatically get citizenship. Clearly this isn\u2019t a route that many can follow, but it helps to know what the options are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
